Bruce Springsteen - Electric Nebraska (1982) **FINAL UPGRADE **

I can't seem to leave this post alone, and although I was 95% happy with what I'd done, I still felt that 'My Father's House' could be better, and so I listened to every version that I could find on Youtube until I found one from East Rutherford in 1984 which not only had an introduction, but was also superb sound quality. So in what I hope is the final upgrade to this post, here is the definitive version of 'My Father's House' to slot into your album. As before, both Soulseek and the main download have been updated, and the link for the single track is in the comments.    

I was quite pleased with how the two live recordings from the recent U2 post turned out after I removed the crowd noise to make them sound more like studio recordings, and it occurred to me that Bruce Springsteen's 'Electric Nebraska' could do with the same attention. The original post was a perfectly valid idea, in making it sound like a complete live concert using the same running order as the original acoustic album, but what we really wanted to hear was a studio quality version of this legendary album. Once I'd updated the first track I was astounded at the difference that it made, as when the song fades at the end and there is no cheering it really does sound like a studio recording, and so the rest of the tracks soon followed, and we now have as close to a true electric 'Nebraska' as I think we'll ever get. I've used the same live recordings as the original post, apart from a cleaner version of 'My Father's House', as they are generally regarded as the best electric versions of the songs, and I've just tweaked a couple of them to improve introductions, or to EQ them to match the other tracks, so give this a try and see what a real electric version of 'Nebraska' could have sounded like.

I've left the original post in the links and on Soulseek, but renamed it 'Electric Nebraska Live', so that you can still download that if you don't already have it.
